About Aydin S.

I’m a level-headed executive with a decade of SMB and corporate business development experience. I love the journey of developing and scaling businesses from the ground up to an international expansion; whether vertically integrated enterprises or start-ups. I strive to be professional and serious, yet down-to-earth and personable. I’m a curious learner that looks for creative ways to apply my knowledge. I’ve worked in various industries and sectors, having gained subject matter expertise and applying time-proven best practices. I\'m highly competent in B2C, B2B, B2G, and B2NPO markets. I have an extensive background in mature markets and specialize in emerging markets, developing their domestic or international operations to maximize profit.Emerging markets especially interest me because preventing \"brain drain\" from developing nations helps make intellectual stimuli and economic contributions globally ubiquitous. I believe businesses add societal value by fueling these innovations and economies. I deeply understand the challenges of navigating the unique social/cultural, legal, and political complexities associated with new market endeavors. These environments often lack risk capital and require tactfully reinvesting profits rather than taking on outside funding.I excel at recruiting talented and cohesive teams, identifying and solving problems, building out supply chains and clientele, bolstering finances and performance, creating infrastructures and adopting technologies, and finetuning the process to deliver a product/service to be proud of. I\'m excited to tackle any developmental stage, whether it be creating the initial foundation, benchmarking, setting milestones, or analyzing along the way. I make unbiased and informed growth decisions using quality- data-driven KPIs from strategic metrics.I’m exceptionally skilled at prospecting and creating new opportunities, resource management, creating company culture, and strategizing to realize visions. I value nurturing business relationships, within and externally, as an asset for success. Being a balanced pragmatic/dogmatic, hands-on, leader inspires a loyal and productive workforce. I trust that having earnest intentions and a bona fide belief in my company\'s mission forms lasting relationships with customers, suppliers/vendors, partners, and the surrounding communities. I strongly encourage corporate philanthropy.I work full-time at UPC, do contract business consulting for the Fortune 500, and am a board member at an NPO that provides resources to the impoverished. I also enjoy volunteering.
